Perhaps the most common challenge is avoiding unclear language, such as "creative beginning." If a rubric is to teach as well as evaluate, terms like these must be defined for students. Admittedly, creativeis a difficult word to define. Ann handled this problem by having a discussion of what the term "creative beginning" meant in book talks. Patricia Crosby and Pamela Heinz, both 7th grade teachers, solved the same problem in a rubric for oral presentations by actually listing ways in which students could meet the criterion (fig. 3). This approach provides valuable information to students on how to begin a talk and avoids the need to define elusive terms like creative.
